Mr. Sheng is quite slender but he is a skillful Kong-fu master.

With five years of teaching experience under his belt, the fresh graduate of the Chinese Martial Art department of Chinese Univeristy owns a martial art club. He is one of the few lucky persons who get to apply what he learns at school.

The research shows that among national universities, National Taiwan University ranks top on the most favored college graduate list, following by Ching-hua and Cheng-chi University.
